Marhaba Halal Restaurant at Ikebukuro, Tokyo

A fully halal Pakistani restaurant in Ikebukuro serving curries, tandoori and biryani with a Muslim owner-chef.

Marhaba is a fully halal Pakistani restaurant on the ground floor of Palace Garden Milano in Ikebukuro, opened by the owner of the nearby Al Flah supermarket - a Muslim who launched the kitchen when he could not find a place to eat on arriving in Japan. The menu centres on authentic Pakistani curries, tandoori chicken, naan and chicken biryani, with curry plates averaging 800 to 900 yen and the overall spend around 1,000 to 2,500 yen. All meat is halal and the restaurant does not serve alcohol, giving Muslim diners full peace of mind. Opening hours run 11am to 3pm and 5pm to 10pm Monday to Saturday, with a slightly shorter 11am to 9:30pm schedule on Sundays and holidays; the 33-seat room accepts cards and is well reviewed on Zabihah and Halal Gourmet Japan for drawing a loyal Pakistani clientele. Delivery is available through Uber Eats, and the kitchen caters equally to a quick weekday lunch or a relaxed evening meal. Vegetarian options and prayer-friendly hospitality make it a go-to for the local Muslim community and curious eaters alike. Honest, home-style cooking and a clear commitment to halal practice make Marhaba a reassuring choice in the heart of Ikebukuro. Stop by for a fragrant biryani or a freshly baked naan - it is a taste of Pakistan served with genuine warmth.
